About this property

Charming Waterfront Retreat on Palmetto Creek

The swing on the screened front porch is a favored spot for enjoying the dolphins, pelicans, herons, and the beautiful Alabama sunsets. After one week of experiencing this quiet haven, you will want to come back year after year. Our peaceful spot offers calm waters for great water skiing, yet lives up to its "Breezy Point" name for an afternoon sail in Perdido Bay.
Secluded, yet just minutes away from Tanger Outlet Mall, OWA, and all the sights and restaurants In Gulf Shores, Foley, and Perdido Key. Gentle waves lap over this sandy beach with no undertow to endanger your children, yet deep enough at the end of the dock to accommodate your boating needs and more advanced swimmers. There are several boat ramps in the vicinity.
Our vintage house is cozy and comfortable with spacious rooms and inviting decor. Recently updated, it provides all the convenience you will need to enjoy a relaxing vacation...new appliances, ceiling fans, tiled bathrooms and tile countertops. We love your fur babies and they are welcome with a pet fee, although we prefer that they sleep in their own beds on the floor. ( 2 dogs max, and no cats, please) You can fish and crab right off your private dock..Your very own "On Golden Pond", just waiting for you!

Wonderful stay!

This is a great place for families. From relaxing on the back porch, to fishing off the dock, to gathering around the table for meals and games, we really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to returning next year.

Peaceful with boat dock

Very peaceful property. House is old with lots of antiques which my 82yo parents loved. Nice to sit in chairs by the water or in back screen porch and watch boats, birds & sunsets. Even saw dolphins. Rented this place because of the boat dock, brought my 19’ boat and kept at dock. Went to numerous bars & restaurants on the water and island beaches.
